Purge Trooper Cody finally finds Obi-wan on Tatooine and is about to Take the Shot til he sees obi chug caf straight from the caf maker and not go to bed for the following 25 hours and cody jusr motherhens himself out of the chips control with sheer willpower to get that dumbass to Sleep
this is so funny, like
purge trooper cody has a simple mission on tatooine and randomly sees obi-wan buying a plum or something at the market and goes full !!! gotta follow him
so he follows him to his hut and observes him for a while just to see obi-wan never ever going near is bed, eating junk and swallowing liters of coffee in a span of minutes and listen, cody could have killed him right there and then but he still has a minimum of honor so he can't just shoot a dehydrated idiot man who's in absolutely no condition to fight, so naturally he has to enter the hut and passive-aggressively cook that man a soup
obi-wan has no idea what's going on but he's vibing
inspired by one of the fic that I love First Sight from @glimmerglanger, thank you so much for writing this 🥺
I was just talking with a friend, and explaining why I adore the clones so much, so I thought I'd yell my love into the Tumblr void, as well.
They're so fascinating to me because, as children, they're treated as interchangeable parts, conditioned to believe that they don't matter as individuals. But despite that, they develop (depending on your adherence to canon, Legends, or whatever) their own culture and very distinct personalities.
They're generally so brave and selfless, which I imagine you can partly chalk up to the awful conditioning they were subjected to, but I also like to think that their closeness growing up fostered genuine concern for the welfare of others.
I could cry until the end of time over some of them getting the chance to learn that they possess their own inherent value, outside of their usefulness to the Republic and ultimately Sidious.
All of my favorite stories focus on the clones' agency and individuality, despite much of the Galaxy (not the Jedi, of course!) treating them as expendable pawns.
And then you add their age into it and I turn into a puddle on the floor. T_T When it comes to life experience, they've had so little, and even if you just look at their biological ages of 20-26-ish throughout the war, they're so young. I'm 39, and the thought of these poor kids going through all the hardships they face is too much for my heart.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
headcanon: Wolffe is even worse than Plo about adopting things, he’s just much better at hiding it
Hi my name is M’ando Besk’ar Trauma Mythosaur Fett and I have shiny indestructible metal armor (that’s how I got my name) with red streaks and green tips that reaches my entire body and an icy blue visor like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Boba Fett (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Boba Fett but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a True Mandalorian but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white blastters. I’m also a bounty hunter, and I go to a bounty hunting school called Mandalorian Bounty Hunter School in Mandalore where I’m in the seventh year (I’m seventeen). I’m a beroya (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly armor. I love ammo shops and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a beskar corset with matching lace around it and a black cumleather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow but no one could tell because of the helmet. I was walking outside MBHS. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of the Kryze Clan stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.
Din not knowing shit about fuck is probably the smartest writing choice in the whole show. Not only is it an endearing character trait but also rly helpful for casual viewers casue its okay if you dont know what the fuck a bo katan is ,din doesnt know either 🤷
Like, Anakin might not know that Rex defected. He promoted Appo but technically Appo’s still second in command of the 501st, under Rex (Rex is still listed as a Captain because Anakin is really really fucking awful at paperwork). And then when Rex doesn’t show up, the obvious conclusion is that he’s dead, but Anakin still doesn’t let him get listed as MIA or KIA because that’s HIS CAPTAIN, dammit, and he’s lost Ahsoka, Padme, Obi-Wan, and literally everything else he ever cared about, he doesn’t want to face having lost Rex, too. And he works better with Rex than with anyone else (mostly because Rex has become accustomed to his bullshit and is Very Good at taking Anakin’s spectacularly stupid nonsense and Making It Work), and really he can’t picture leading the 501st with anyone OTHER than Rex at his side.
And then Rex keeps not coming back. But Vader still doesn’t remove him from the system. For years and years. And eventually everyone stops mentioning it to him because they tend to get force-murdered if they do.
So long story short, Rebels-era Rex is technically the commanding officer of Vader’s Fist, and the system still recognizes his codes and lets him in, and technically if he walked up to any stormtrooper while wearing his old helmet, the networks would recognize him and tell the stormtrooper that’s your CO. So if Rex realized this, he could just waltz in and take control of the most feared stormtrooper legion in the galaxy and as long as Vader wasn’t around, no one would stop him (they’d all be very confused, but they wouldn’t stop him). And maybe vader walks up at this point like “what the hell is going on here” and sees Rex and is just like “REX there you are where the FUCK have you been?” and Rex is like “uuuhhhh i had engine trouble on the way back from Mandalore” and it’s been 20 years but Vader knows how shitty Rex is at piloting and really anything involving flying and ships so he’s like “sounds legit”
i like that mando knows many languages and is respectful to other people but also he does kill people for money. he has a strong moral compass but no one really knows where its pointing
Glitch was supposed to be a throwaway character but now I’m Attached™️ and in the process of making him a whole squad.
Empire-controlled Kamino is a lot stricter than in the Jedi days, no hair cuts, no tattoos, so when he’s busted out he absolutely goes wild. At one point Waxer has to intervene because he’s fried his hair from bleaching and re-dying it too many times (as a medic he should know better but...), so he settles on shaving different patterns into the side.
Give him a real job.
